Bar Texaco is a relatively new pop-up restaurant on Sydney Road in Brunswick that serves a combination of Texas-style barbecue and Tex-Mex dishes on its menu. My friend Kate and I have been a couple of times for lunch to sample dishes from the different parts of the menu. On the barbecue side I had the Brisket Bun, which includes smoked brisket slices, pickles and secret BBQ sauce on a toasted bun. For sides we shared the fries, classic mac n cheese, and chargrilled pumpkin with puffed wild rice, pepitas, fajita seasoning and vegan yoghurt avocado dressing. The smoked brisket was amazing, as was the chargilled pumpkin the first time we had it. The fries are what you would expect, and even though we shared the mac n cheese it was quite filling.
On the Tex-Mex side of the menu, we had the corn chips and guacamole
and got the combo of any three tacos for $18. I had the pork and
pineapple taco (juicy pork, pineapple and Mexican salsa), beef taco (pulled
brisket, refried white beans, Mexican salsa and chilli oil) and Baja
fish taco (battered fish, pickled cabbage and chipotle mayo). Once
again it was those barbecue flavors in the meats that really stood out.
Bar Texaco is located at 644 Sydney Road, Brunswick and is open for dinner Wednesday - Saturday and for lunch on Sundays.
